Does Delta have first class anymore?

Available on domestic flights, you'll find the things you want to help make the hours fly by in First Class. You'll have room to stretch out, an outlet to stay powered up and, of course, the signature service of a Delta flight attendant for the First Class cabin.



Yes, Delta Air Lines absolutely still offers First Class, but it is primarily used for domestic and short-haul international flights (such as to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean). On these routes, First Class features a 2-2 seating configuration with wider leather seats, more legroom (usually 37 to 39 inches of pitch), and premium meal services on flights over 900 miles. However, for long-haul international flights, Delta has replaced the "First Class" name with Delta One, which is their premier business class product featuring lie-flat seats and direct aisle access. Additionally, they offer Delta Premium Select, which is a "true" premium economy product that sits between Delta One and the Main Cabin. In 2026, Delta has also been retrofitting many of its domestic aircraft with "Next-Generation" First Class seats that feature larger privacy wings, more stowage, and 4K seatback screens. So, while the "First Class" branding remains for domestic hops, travelers looking for the most luxurious experience on transoceanic flights should look for the "Delta One" designation instead.
